The current UIE 2000 route is
conveniently configured for finishing the ride in six days, with
five sleep stops. Here are the particulars:

Day 1

341 km

Victoria to Victoria (Port Renfrew,
etc.)

-

Day 2

334 km

Victoria to Parksville

Transition day

Day 3

348 km

Parksville to Parksville (Tofino)

-

Day 4

299 km

Parksville to Campbell River (Gold
River)

Transition day

Day 5

399 km

Campbell River to Campbell River
(Port McNeil)

-

Day 6

285 km

Campbell River to Victoria

Transition day

By "Transition day"
I mean that you will need to carry all your gear to a new destination.
On the non-transition days, you can travel light - you need only
carry what you will need for the day. You can also take the opportunity
to clean clothes that can be drying in a hotel room while you
are riding. I've marked Day 4 as a transition day, but it is
only partially so. The route to Gold River runs through Campbell
River, and we had no trouble leaving surplus gear at our Campbell
River hotel. So only the relatively flat first 117 km was full
gear. Day 6 is also a transition day, but since it's the final
day you might arrange to mail a package home, or abandon unneeded
supplies.

Seven Day
Plan

Day 5, above, is a long one.
An alternative to the six day schedule would be to add an extra
day, and distribute the distance from the final two days over
three days. Here's what those three days would look like:

Day 5

266 km

Campbell River to Woss (Port McNeil)

Transition day

Day 6

250 km

Woss to Parksville

Transition day

Day 7

168 km

Parksville to Victoria

Transition day

I call Days 5 and 6 transition
days, but you could leave gear at Woss on the way through to
Port McNeil, and stuff could be left in Campbell River also.

Four Day Plan

The route can also be configured
to be ridden over four days with three sleep stops...
